Inhaltsangabe

A tongue-in-cheek collection of quotes and irreverent narrative about the party of princes and pretenders - from Useless S. Grant to King George II and from Ronnie to Arnie - Why I Hate the Republicans leaves little doubt that political insight is a dish best served funny. It's a Republican Roast, a little bloody, but deliciously entertaining!
In taking to task the fundamental tenets (or is that tenants?) of the Grand Old Party, Randy Howe leaves nothing unquestioned, for, as our beloved president puts it, "I think if you know what you believe, it makes it a lot easier to answer questions. I can't answer your question." Through the mind-boggling doublespeak of Republican stalwarts past and present, the GOP, from its liberal abolitionist roots to its current laissez-faire war-hawk (or is that chicken-hawk?) agenda, is scrupulously dissected. Why I Hate the Republicans cuts deep - combining fact and just a touch of fiction in a "tribute" to the spin doctoring that is GOP politics.
